What this card does

It reduces damage taken by all your Pokemon by 30 points while it is active.

It can deal 120 base damage plus an extra 120 if a Stadium card is in play, then remove that Stadium card.

It deals 220 damage that ignores any protective effects on the opponent's Active Pokemon.

Signature ability

Dusty Defense

As long as this Pokémon is your Active Pokémon, all of your Pokémon take 30 less damage from your opponent’s attacks (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

The Dusty Defense ability acts as a shield for your entire team by lowering incoming damage. This makes it easier to keep your other Pokemon alive during tough battles.

Note for the parent

Remember that your child can only use the Sonic Edge GX attack once per game, so it is a powerful but limited tool.
